How to Setup Emergency Medical ID on iPhone and iPad in iOS 9

Step #3. On the next screen, enter all your medical details including allergies, health condition, emergency contact details, and any special notes. This will be useful in case of emergency, and anyone around you can quickly access these details.

Step #4 After you are done with adding the details, toggle ON “Show When Locked”. This feature is optional but highly recommended. The reason is that all the details you have entered will be visible to others even if your iPhone/iPad are locked with a Passcode.

That’s all; you can now exit the Health app and lock your iPhone/iPad. You can confirm whether it is working or not by swiping up to the Passcode screen and then tapping on Emergency followed by tapping on MedicalID. Even though this feature is optional, we would strongly recommend setting it up if you have any serious injuries or health issues.
